We operate out of 20 Annipura in the Kalasipalyam New Extention area. It’s a busy neighborhood with a lot of movement. Most mornings, the street is already full of people before we even open up. Our place is simple, nothing too special to look at from the outside, but it serves us well. We’ve been at this address for a long time, watching the area grow and change around us. There are always trucks moving in and out of Kalasipalyam, so there is a constant hum of engines and voices. Inside, we keep things functional. We don't have any big signs or bright lights. It’s just a workspace where we handle our daily tasks. A lot of our day involves talking to people who drop by, some we’ve known for years and others who are just passing through. We handle the business as it comes, one day at a time. The office—if you want to call it that—is basically just a desk and some storage. It’s a bit cramped when we have a lot of stuff coming in, but we manage to make it work. Lunch is usually something quick from one of the stalls nearby. We don’t really do much in the way of advertising; people just know where we are. It’s a straightforward way of living and working, being part of the local fabric here in the extension. We just keep our heads down and do what needs doing. It gets dusty with all the construction nearby, so we spend time cleaning up every morning before the sun gets too high.
